## peering with other nodes ##
In order to actually be distributed, you need another person to sync posts with, otherwise what's the point right?
Right now peering information is private, there is no link level authenticatio (yet) so everything is done via either a vpn tunnel or a tor hidden service.
### Peering via cjdns vpn tunnel ###
Set up cjdns, read more [here](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/blob/master/doc/configure.md#connection-interfaces)
git clone https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns
cd cjdns && ./do
./cjdroute --genconf >> cjdroute.conf
./cjdroute < cjdroute.conf
Get your ipv6 address for cjdns
ip addr show tun0
Edit srnd.ini to bind nntp on that ipv6 address, make sure to use the square brances `[` and `]`
[nntp]
...
bind=[xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxx:xx....]:1199
say you have 2 friends at fc33:3:3::aadd and fc03:9f:123::a3df. right now feeds.ini can't take raw ipv6 addresses so add them to `/etc/hosts`
# add these lines to /etc/hosts
fc33:3:3::aadd bob
fc03:9f:123::a3df charlie
then add to feeds.ini the following:
[feed-bob]
proxy-type=none
[bob]
overchan.*=1
ctl=1
[feed-charlie]
proxy-type=none
[charlie]
overchan.*=1
ctl=1
then restart srndv2
